The ‘Cycle route ahead’ preformed thermoplastic road marking is part of our large collection of road markings at Start Traffic. This marking is most commonly found on roads where a cycle route would cut into the road, potentially reducing the width of the carriageway for vehicle traffic.
Use this warning marking in combination with a post mounted cycle route ahead warning sign to give another warning to road users of the cycle route ahead approaching. Post mounted warning signs can be found in our signage section here.
When travelling towards a road marking at speed it needs to be intentionally distorted. This ensures that it can still be interpreted correctly by approaching motorists.
Choose from a range of standard sizes:
Other sizes are available upon request but may carry a longer delivery time.
Applying our preformed thermoplastic warning symbols is very easy. Firstly the area must be cleaned of all loose debris, oil, grease and salts. Once this is done you are ready to get going. If your road surface is old tarmac, concrete or block paving then you will need to use our fast-drying primer.
Once you have fully prepped the surface the roundel can be set out. Once you are happy with the marking positioning a heat gun can be used to melt the marking to the road surface. For additional traction glass bead can be sprinkled over the surface, this is fused into the marking with the further application of heat.
Thermoplastic on block paving is known to be more difficult to apply and has a substantially shorter lifetime than on bituminous surfaces, such as tarmac.
Block paving is not a solid structure. Most of the time, they are put down and sand is added into the grooves, so over time when moisture creeps in as well as moss, movement can be made within 2 blocks, making the material crack and fail.
